Is voting Republican so rare for HN readers? I doubt it. It seems like the majority of readers here are libertarians, and a lot of libertarians, when they vote for a major party, vote Republican.
- javery 16y agoWhich I never understood anyway - I agree with many libertarian principles but both Republicans and Democrats are going to grow the government so I vote Democrat since I at least agree with their principles.
- markkat 16y agoThat and the Dems at least try to fund the growth. Nothing worse than growing the beast and starving it at the same time.
- mattmaroon 16y agoA lot of libertarians vote Democrat too. I'd guess the split is roughly even. The only thing uniform amongst libertarians is frustration.
- bendmorris 16y agoI could be biased and you could be right. I come from one of the reddest states in the Union. The libertarians here took out a sitting Republican senator this election cycle in the primaries. I haven't seen anything comparable in the Democratic party.
